Based on the charming trilogy of children's books by beloved multi award-winning writer/director Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually, Yesterday), That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys!

Critics Consensus

More of a stocking stuffer than a proper gift from Santa, That Christmas is an amiable enough addition to the holiday canon.

I don't particularly care for the doll-like animation, but there's a couple notions in this movie that I like: one, that not everybody likes Christmas, and two, that "naughty" is subjective.

The stories are all individually charming, but overly familiar animation and underwhelming character-design blunt the effect.

Schmaltz-heavy and wishlist-thin, That Christmas offers very little and doesn’t even have the self-awareness to include the receipt.

It's not one of the toxic jollifications we complain about... A perfectly entertaining holiday movie.

It’s generally acceptable viewing fodder for families in spite of being mostly forgettable, the movie equivalent of a snowflake that dissolves the instant it drifts into your hot cocoa.

Co-written by Richard Curtis and based on his best-selling illustrated children’s books, That Christmas keeps itself busy.

Christmas is indeed a religious holiday. That’s why should not be taken lightly. This movie treats it like a suggestion. The way they change the biblical history of Christmas into a woke version of things is disgusting.

The worst movie I’ve seen in a looong time. In fact, I never write a review and certainly avoid negative ones, but I felt compelled. These poorly developed, pandering, unimaginative movies lacking zero heart are offensive to the intelligence of the kids that watch them and the adults that must endure them. Blugh. Don’t waste your time.

Cute movie until I watch the play changing the whole bible story of Jesus being born we don't take this lightly. Jesus is the reason for the season the gifts and family are the benefits that comes with it 😃but Jesus is the main star in CHRISTmas

This is a small kids movie not some political opinion about climate change and womens rights. Rediculous how they were jamming content down our throats during a chrimstas movie.
